    Does anyone have a rough idea of when HL normally gets back to applicants (gleaned through experience of applying before or through conversation with grad rec)?

    Does anyone know what is going on with RPC? I saw that apparently they have filled all the TC spots with vac schemers. However, their website implies that they recruit from direct applicants as well. Plus, it seems a bit weird that some have received PFOs while others haven't if all the positions have been filled. I tried emailing them last week but they haven't replied. So much for getting to applicants "shortly after the deadline" smh
    Did they ever respond to your email? I spoke to GR at the end of July and they said they'll get back to candidates 'soon' 😔
